Your questions about corporate paella catering in Blacklands
What’s the nearest station to Blacklands for guests?
Ore station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
How far is Blacklands from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we’ll tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
Events in public spaces, like parks, typically need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
